A woman decked out in luxurious attire burst through the door, and the moment Vivian saw her, the tears started flowing.
"Mom!" She threw herself into the woman's arms like she'd suffered the greatest injustice in the world.
Listening to her daughter's sobs, Madison's heart felt like it was breaking. Her eyes landed on the slap mark on Vivian's face, and her expression turned from sorrow to rage. "Who did this?" "It was her!" With her mother backing her up, Vivian's confidence soared, and she angrily pointed at Brianna.

But Madison ignored him, gently patting her daughter's back to comfort her before striding towards Brianna. Brianna, just as furious, stood her ground. "Your daughter deserved it!" "You little brat!" Madison, livid, raised her hand to slap Brianna, but Flora, standing by the wall, swiftly kicked her in the knee. Madison's leg buckled, and she instinctively fell forward, her head hitting the wall with a sickening thud, leaving a nasty bump.
"This is outrageous! What are you waiting for? Arrest them!" Several young police officers, hearing Madison's command, quickly moved to restrain Flora and Brianna. They could see from Mr. Flynn's respectful treatment of Vivian that Mrs. Brimer was someone important. And since Flora had started the fight, it seemed reasonable to subdue her, especially since it happened in a police station.
"Wait... hold on...!" The scene descended into chaos, leaving Mr. Flynn on the verge of tears.
"Don't start yet! Letfigure this out first!" "Quite the commotion," a man's voice rang out, slightly amused but with a chilling undertone.
"Brother!" Hearing the man's voice, Brianna's face lit up, and she quickly looked towards the door. Connor and Ray walked in with commanding strides, followed by Moss and Beck.
Mr. Flynn's expression shifted. He didn't know Connor and Ray, but their imposing presence made it clear they were not to be messed with. They were big shots.
Connor went straight to Flora, his voice deep with concern, "Are you hurt?" "No, I took them all down," Flora looked up at him, slipping her cold hand into his suit jacket. "Connor, I'm cold." Her voice had a playful, almost apologetic tone, as if to say, it wasn't my fault, I was just defending myself, don't be mad.

"Brother, I'm cold too!"
Brianna mimicked Flora, trying to slip her hand into Ray's suit jacket pocket, but he swatted it away without hesitation.
"So, you're their family?" Madison spat out angrily. "They've hurt myn daughter so badly she can't even show her face. How do you plan to make this right?"
"Mrs. Brimer, this seems like a simple case of mutual combat. How about we just call it even? Both sides m apologize and we move on?" Mr. Flynn suggested with a strained smile, not wanting to anger either side. "Absolutely not!" Mrs. Brimer scoffed. "I want them in jail!" As her words hung in the air, Ray casually remarked, "That sounds like a great idea." X
